I have been taking Communication Sketching Class at Art Center at Night for a couple of weeks now. We do 10 sheets of homework a week basically working on the cube, sphere, cone and cylinder. I have been trying my best although last night I found out I am using the wrong side of the marker paper. For some reason with the Bienfang you have to take it out and turn it to the other side. How bizarre.

I am hoping drawing all these geometric forms will help give more structure to my drawings.

Glen missed the last 2 classes and I missed the two classes before that so I haven't seen him in awhile. Mark has been substituting. I realize I need to work on my style of mark. My mark making is really boring - mainly straights. I have such hard time sharpening my charcoal to the way Glen and a lot of the west coast teachers waant you to. I have got to figure that out. I also am mad at myself that I haven't practice my heads. I am going to go to uninstructed once a week for the rest of head drawing class and practice. I am also promising myself to practice with the Vanderpoel book and the head book by Loomis. I am sick of not progressing and not putting the time in that I need to.

Glen wasn't at class this week. I had missed the last 2 weeks because of working on the MTV job. Surprisingly enough I felt my gestures turned out ok. I worked on copying from Loomis this week. I wasn't too happy with this long pose. The shadow doesn't seem to be working on her neck and I had a lot of trouble with the features.
